Monday, December 07, 2009 42.195km is a hell marathon, i didn't expect it was so tough!  Everyone was stretching.  This is where we can put our bags.   Getting more and more people.   Going to the starting point.   5.30am, the race has started!!!!!!!!!!  But something is very funny, which i was really shock! The race just started, and you can see a few runners went to the grass patch or behind the tree and pee!!! Oh my gosh, this is the first time i seen it, i don't think i dare to do it. While i ran about 4km, this runner run opposite way, and it crash on me, ouch! What is he doing? The most bad experience that i have is i got a stomach after 6.5km, there is a toilet at 6km, but i didn't go because i don't feel anything, and i have to bear with it for till 8km them will have toilet.
Reason that i got stomach ache is because i ate curry last night, and i forgot that i'm not suppose to eat spicy food before my race and even my training, eating spicy food will cause to loss a lot of stamina, and you cannot perform well during the race.  While i was running, i saw this 2 guys dress up and run for marathon, it was so cool! But there is another one, this father pushes his daughter on Wheelchairs with him to run for a marathon, and he can run faster than me!!!  So while he was pushing, everyone give him encourage by clapping for him, in order to avoid from crashing the other runner, we help him to clear the way for him, so that he can continue running. I feel touched by this father and daughter, this shows how much the father loves his daughter, i really must respect the father.  After i have ran about 12km, my legs starts to get hurt, i try to push myself, but it's too painful, so i have to stop and stretch my muscles, 42.195km is a hell marathon, i didn't expect it was so tough!  13Km, i told myself to make it in 5 hours, but i don't think i can make it, so i just take my time and run.  Finally we reach East Coast Park, even an Old man and Girls can run faster than me.   20KM, another 1km to complete HALF MARATHON!!!!!     Everyone stopped running because their muselc told them not to run.  After i reach 21KM, i stopped running, i have to sit down and stretch my muscles, it is really painful which is worse than walking!!!!!  This is how runners throws theirs cups, everytime they take a sip, throw and continue running.  And it is really a lot!!!!!  18 more KM to to go!!!! So i bear with the pain, and continue running!!!! OUCH!!!!!!!!!!  28km, 4 hour 10mins, i have to stopped running. It's really painful!!!! I need to sit down and rest.  29km, 4 hour 23 mins, Leg Cramp, forcing myself to run.  The moment i saw this signboard: 30KM, left 12KM!!!!! I push all to the max!!!!!!  This is the sensor, each 10km they will have sensor to detech your time, so that they will know whether you will cheat during the race  After i reach 34km, i stopped, it's too painful!!!!! I even sit down for 5 mins to rest.
The last 8km, i have to walk all the way, each 1km i have to stop and rest, i never knew it was so serious!!!!!!!!! 35KM, 5 hour 12mins. There is a point that i wanted to give up, really want to give up, because it is damn not worth it!!!!!! You pay money to make yourself tired!!!!!! , because i cannot take the pain!!!! When i was about to stopped, i think of the father and daughter, it makes me think that we should not give up in life, even though you cannot walk, you loss your arm, or cannot see anything in your life, your life has to go on, and i see the father, he really love his daughter so much that he even push his daughter for marathon, and it is 42.195KM!!!!! Since i did not hit 5 hours, then i should continue walking all the way till the finishing point. The moment i saw the 42KM signboard, i immediately run, REALLY RUN LIKE A DOG!!!!! EVEN BOTH MY LEGS CRAMPS, I STILL BEAR WITH THE PAIN AND RUN!!!!!!!! 7 HOURS 4 MINS 32 SEC!!!!!!! I finally did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
This is going to be the first and my last race! I really not going to join Marathon again!!!!!
although i say it is not worth joining the race, but it was a good experience to tell everyone if they want to go for marathon.
